OMG! I cannot believe it's already almost here! In just 2 more days, my baby girl will be in my arms and not in my tummy anymore! I have finally come to terms for the most part with the c-section, but now my fears are being a mommy. I don't know what the heck I'm doing! I know nothing about babies, other than how to change a diaper and give a bottle. Usually a baby starts to cry, I just hand it back to the mother, except now when the baby starts to cry, I AM the mother. I'm not so worried about my patience or anything like that, I just am scared that I won't know how to comfort my baby or know what she needs.
I am so thankful that Ibou will be there and helping and that my mom will be here for 3 weeks to help out. I don't know what I'd do without either of them! And I'm a little scared of when my mom leaves in 3 weeks. Will I be ready to tackle this on my own? I'm really relying on the possibility of my motherly instincts kicking in. I've always had mothering tendencies towards everyone else, so why am I so afraid of my own child?
I know these are all concerns that first time moms go through, and I know I'm overthinking all of it too. I'm just scared and nervous. I want to be the best mommy I can be.
